Now that R1 of WCOP is done, I'm going to post on some changes I think should be made. Also I just made a post on both of these so I won't talk about them more but I think it's even more clear now that slowking and toxapex should both be in A+.
Rises
--> A+ Tornadus-t is back on top and has been one of the best pokemon during R1. Taunt sets are rising in usage which are extremely hard to deal with defensively. We also see it trying out different coverage moves on utility sets, such as heat wave and sludge wave, which can make it that much more annoying to switch into. The drop was definitely justified last ranking update but now I think it's clear it should be in A+ again.
--> A+ Weavile is probably the best late game cleaner right now, having very little trouble breaking weakened teams at +2. This is a mon which tends to break for itself, as a lot of bulky offense teams will only have Moistshifu or their own weavile as a switch in, both of which can't switch in often during a match. It's also a big deterrence to dragapult spamming shadow ball late game, as oftentimes if weavile can get an SD after pult gets a kill, the game is over.
--> A+ Also already talked about Moistshifu but I think it's no longer a surprise to anyone how good it is. I think it's a top 5 mon in the meta and there's no question it's A+ worthy.
--> A- Hippowdon is a fantastic option as the ground rocker on a lot of teams, as it's actually able to check electrics long term as well as check dragapult barring spdf drops. It's been used a lot in WCOP lately and it's clear it should rise.
--> A- Slowking-g is something that's recently been rising in usage, and for good reason. It's extremely hard to switch into the coverage of fire/ice/poison, only to add in future sight spam which allows other breakers to get past the mons it can't. It's also a great check for CM fini, which has been rising in usage, as well as all kyurem sets.
--> A-/A Buzzwole is great right now, with the 3 atk sets not only being hard to switch into, but also serving as great defensive utility. It's one of the only mons that is able to check Moistshifu, weavile, kartana, zeraora, and bisharp all in the same slot. We can see the impact it's had on the tier by all the random aerial ace mons people are running now.
--> A Katy wrote on this well, but yeah, fini should rise.
Falls
--> A Garchomp is now unfortunately past its prime and it's becoming harder to justify using it on a team. The swords dance set rarely sweeps anymore, not finding many opportunities to set up and is often stopped by lando-t, weavile revenging, unaware clefable, or blocking scale shot with a fairy then killing with something faster. It's also hard to justify the rocks set over hippo or lando-t, as it really doesn't check much well that either of those don't check better. It of course still has some merit, which is why I brought this set to my WCOP game, but I don't think it's worthy of A+ rank anymore.
--> B/B- Excadrill is horrible right now; it can maybe spin once or twice in a game and somewhat check clef and koko but that's about it. It gets completely walled by so many common defensive mons and struggles putting in any work.
